The “(in)dispensable project” is an ongoing social engagement-art project documenting individuals working in the solid waste + recycling industry in turkey. This project was a collaborative venture between artist, Heidi K. Brandow + designer, Sinem Sayar. Creative institution and community outlet, Circuit Istanbul, served as a host and showcased this project in March 2018. It is an ongoing collaborative project that will incorporate the academic community of Medipol University. A short-film that documents this project and the community collaborators is currently in the development stages and is expected to commence in late 2018 through early 2019.
